OUTLOOK:  

The Wildcats bring back a large part of their 2013 squad. That experience is priceless and should propel them to a very successful 2014 campaign. Neosho returns 8 starting position players and 5 pitchers that had 15-innings or more in 2013. After placing 5th in the tough Large COC conference, they will challenge for this year’s conference title.  Crowder commits Trey Turner and Brendan Craig, and Senior Kris Finley look to lead the Wildcats this year. Coach Donny Pennington is expecting significant contribution from a big Junior class including Jayce Parmley, Kody Kelly, Chris Paullus, Logan Stuart, and Alec Graham.  There is also anticipation for Freshman Colton Marion to break out this year and be a staple for the Wildcats attack for 4 years. The Neosho Wildcats have a solid base for an exciting 2014 season.
